Crystal's Film & Theatre Voyage

From Monroe to Gleason and Mostel to Burton,
Crystal Cruises is planning a red carpet line up for its November
2 Film & Theatre voyage, presented in partnership with the award-winning
Centre Theatre Group of Los Angeles.
This cruise, rich with Old Hollywood immersion, features more than a dozen
performers and industry speakers with material created just for Crystal, including a
special spotlight on one of the industry’s most glamorous, and legendary,
figures: Marilyn Monroe.

While Crystal Symphony sails along America’s
colonial coast from New York to Miami, the celluloid highlights include:

Legends Brought to Life on Stage

· Internationally acclaimed Marilyn Monroe tribute artist Susan Griffiths
will bring her uncanny talent to sea for the first time ever with a new live
cabaret show created exclusively for Crystal, Marilyn – Memories, Music
and Magic.

· Crystal favourite Jim Brochu returns with Character Man, his
newest tribute to some of Broadway’s greatest character actors such as Jackie
Gleason and Zero Mostel.

A multi-course dinner in the ship’s intimate Vintage Room featuring
extraordinary wine pairings will be hosted by “Marilyn Monroe” (Griffiths) and Marilyn
fan club president, Greg Schreiner, sharing tales of Tinseltown and the star’s
life.

Red Carpet Beauty Tips

Leading red carpet make-up artist William Squire will present
celebrity beauty secrets for guests’ everyday lives and onboard photo
opportunities, including ways Marilyn hid flaws and enhanced her beauty to
create her signature style - and how her look still influences style today.

Famous Fashions

Original costumes from some of Hollywood’s
greatest films will be showcased in a special musical theatre production
created just for Crystal, featuring Broadway veteran Karen Morrow and
other special guests.

The Silver Screen

The ship’s recently-redesigned Hollywood Theatre will feature movie
marathons of classic and recent films, including some of Marilyn’s greatest
hits, with Turner Classic Movies film historian Jeremy Arnold providing
fascinating behind-the-scenes commentary.The 14-night East Coast and Caribbean cruise starts in New
York on November 2 and
visits Baltimore, Charleston,
Savannah, Jacksonville
(maiden call), Turks & Caicos, Curaçao and Aruba before finishing in Miami. All-inclusive
